"No one says goodbye unless they want to see you again" -John Green
I have much to say about this book. The book who's main character reminded me of myself, made me realise things about myself that I never truly knew about myself. Most importantly, made me realise that my thoughts don't define me.
In the story nothing really happens that's breathtaking or adventurous but in this case it isn't about the plot. It's about Aza Holmes and her journey with OCD. They story about how she realised that a person's life is a story told by them and not an author telling their story for them.
Turtles all the way down is about healing, self discovery, pain, love and acceptance. It's a novel that makes you realise that it is truly okay not to be okay. That your spiral tightens, yes, but you control it's grip on you.
Aza made me realise that I'm not the only one who feels like death is following me around, that every encounter with bacteria is the final one that welcomes death right after. She made me realise the importance of love and truly living life even if you have a mental health disorder.
"You're both the fire and the water that extinguishes it. You're the narrator, the protagonist, and the sidekick. You're the storyteller and the story told. You are somebody's something, but you are also your you."- John Green

My first book by Haruki Murakami and I could not have been gifted a better option.
To me this books revealed that those who seem as if they live the most simple, average lives have more that gnaws at them that meets the eye. That every possible being has a story to tell of the past.
Along with this the most important lesson that I took from Tsukuru's life is that closure is the key to moving forward, and that everyone needs closure from the ghouls that haunt us even without knowing and that sometimes we need others to help us realise these things. All of these valuable lessons are seen in the life of the suposably "Colourless" Tsukuru Tazaki.
Everyone has a colour in them, even when it can't be seen by the bearer.

This book really went into showing you how different people live life and how they experience their day-to-day lives. You see life through the eyes of almost every possible life there is to live. It showed me that people grow up and live in different circumstances and that these circumstances and events shape them all in individual ways.
It shows you that judging books by their covers isn't the way to go because you never know what people go through.
It was a real eye opener to me and yet still very interesting to read
